PM Mitsotakis: We encourage full-time employment

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the government plans to wage war on undeclared labour on Wednesday, following a visit to the labour ministry.

"We will address the phenomenon drastically. Not only with systematic and targeted checks but also through a web of incentives and counter-incentives to encourage full-time employment", said Mitsotakis after a meeting with the ministry authorities, while he also announced the final solution to the problem with widows' pensions.

"We finally solve the outstanding issue concerning widows' pensions that we inherited from the previous government. At the end of this month 65,850 beneficiaries will see the recoupment rates rising from 50 to 70 pct as we have promised", Mitsotakis said.
